PATA: Employee intranet with ERP integration

The idea

PATA manages the full forest lifecycle, from seedlings to timber harvesting and sales. When field teams are spread across a country, internal communication often runs on emails, phone calls, and manual spreadsheets. Employees lack a central place to check company news, access policy documents, or review their salary details, and HR spends hours each month fielding individual payroll questions.

PATA’s goal: a single internal platform where every employee can find what they need without calling the office.

What we built

We developed a company intranet tailored to PATA’s specific workflows:

• AXAPTA accounting integration Employees see their salary breakdown, synced nightly from the company's ERP system, with no manual exports.
• Company news and announcements A central feed replaces the email chain and holds updates, policy changes, and operational notices.
• Document library Safety procedures, HR policies, and operational guides are all searchable and always up to date.
• Role-based access Field workers, managers, and HR each see what's relevant to them.

The integration with AXAPTA was the most complex part. We built a secure API bridge that syncs salary data nightly, handling edge cases like mid-month adjustments and tax recalculations.

The result

HR payroll inquiries dropped after employees began to self-serve through the portal. Company-wide announcements went out the same day, instead of after a week of forwarded emails. New employees onboarded faster with all policies and procedures in one place. After launch, the system ran reliably with minimal maintenance.
